Chapter 140: I'll Defend Chang'an for You
The heroon's foot strength is really good. Ran Ying rushed back to Chang'an in two days.
Two days later, a military report came, and Dugu captured Luoyang as he wished.
When the news came, Mingtang was boiling with excitement.
The Son of Heaven was even more ecstatic when he heard the news. After recovering the old capital, the first decision he made was to go to Luoyang Taimiao to worship his ancestors.
To the emperor's displeasure, he clapped his hands and said that it was different, but after Yuwentai got the news, he immediately went to the table to stop it.
After all, the emperor's departure from Chang'an is a major event that affects the whole of Chang'an, and it needs to be carefully planned and considered, not to mention that the city just won is still unstable, and a comprehensive investigation has not been done.
However, as a middle-aged man in his thirties, Yuan Baoju is very concerned about such things as ancestor worship, and often chokes at the fall of Taimiao to Gao Huan.
Now that Luoyang has been recovered, even if he risks his life, he must fulfill the obligations and duties that a filial son and grandson of the royal family should fulfill.
Helpless, Yuwentai had no choice but to lead the army to welcome the emperor in Huazhou and escort the emperor to Luoyang to worship his ancestors.
Before leaving, he secretly ordered the reactivation of Wang Meng, who resigned due to the case of private mines in Qinzhou and moved his family to Fertile Field, awarded the post of Tai Lieutenant, and ordered him to lead 3,000 troops to Weibei in case of accidents.
The Luan driver of the Yuan Bao Torch set off seven days after the recovery of Luoyang, and also took with him the Wei general Su Xuan and the 5,000 forbidden army.
Sending the emperor and his entourage out of Chang'an, Li Yu whispered to Ran Ying beside him: "Since the Son of Heaven decided to go to Luoyang, I have always been restless in my heart, and I always feel that something is going to happen during this time. Now Chang'an City is almost empty, if Gao Huan makes a detour to attack ......"
Ran Ying said: "I'm not afraid, once Gao Huan's soldiers and horses come in, Zhu Guo and the hussar general close the passage to Kanto on the front line of Luoyang, it is to close the door and beat the dog, Gao Huan will not dare to take this risk." But I'm afraid that there will be changes within Chang'an. ”
"Inside Chang'an?" Li Hao was a little surprised, "You mean that someone will take the opportunity to rebel?" The clan has followed His Majesty to Luoyang, will any ministers rebel? You've always been cautious, but what do you hear in secret? ”
Ran Ying couldn't say it for a while. The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one showed obvious signs of rebellion. But this heart is up and down, and it feels very bad.
She sighed: "The Supreme is in too much of a hurry, I always feel that it is inappropriate. It would be good if one or two generals were transferred back from outside, even if Su Sui and the forbidden army were left...... Let's hope something doesn't happen. ”
However, as soon as the emperor's guard of honor arrived in Luoyang, something happened in Chang'an.
Zhao Qingque, the governor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty captured during the Battle of Shayuan, was exiled in Chang'an, and gathered thousands of Eastern Wei soldiers who were also in the people.
That night, Ran Ying was awakened in her sleep by Liu Wu's rapid knock on the door.
They stood outside Lang's house and watched the sky-high fire on Xingguan Street, a few streets away, burning the dark sky red.
At the same time, as if it had been discussed, a Yongzhou common man named Yu Fude colluded with Xianyang Taishou Murong Siqing to occupy Xianyang together, and collected the Eastern Wei soldiers who were scattered around after the Battle of Shayuan, rebelled, and prepared to attack Chang'an.
Li Hao reacted quickly, immediately gathered the only 3,000 city defense troops in the city, and launched a fierce street battle with Zhao Qingque's rebels.
A day later, the rebels were forced into Zicheng, so they simply defended Zicheng, while collecting the rebels, while attacking Chang'an every day.
The military intelligence was quickly sent to Luoyang. The emperor was shocked and hurriedly ordered Yuwentai to return to his division to relieve the siege of Chang'an.
In a hurry, Yuwentai ordered Su Xuan to take 5,000 forbidden troops to protect the emperor in Ruxiang, and ordered Li Hu to lead a light horse to Chang'an first.
At this time, in Chang'an City, the emperor was not there, Yuwentai was not there, and the military horses were not there. The ministers were in a state of panic, and rumors spread among the people.
Yu Wentai was not worried about one or two outcasts gathering a group of soldiers to rebel, he was worried that this matter was inextricably linked to the DPRK and China.
While leading the army to Chang'an, he summoned Monaro: "Go and check if this Zhao Qingque and that Murong Siqing have any dealings with the ministers of the DPRK and China." ”
The July wind passed by my ears, still hot and upset. Tigers are rampant this autumn, and even though it is already autumn, it is still hot.
The farther west I went, the more annoying the heat became.
Or is he himself upset?
He had Ran Ying in mind. She is trapped in Chang'an, and she doesn't know what she is doing at the moment, whether she is safe or not.
Whenever this happens, Yuwentai hates how she can't turn into a puppy and a kitten, so that he can carry it in his arms.
As soon as she returned to Chang'an, something like this happened, and she should have been forced to stay in Huazhou at that time.
Ran Ying was hurrying to the command post of the city tower in the carriage.
She lifted the curtain and looked out.
The once bustling streets are now in chaos.
The doors of every house were closed, debris and garbage were scattered on the streets, and from time to time there were bands of sergeants rushing back and forth.
There are even many people who drag their belongings and push carts to flee out of the city.
She asked herself, will Chang'an be lost? Will the royal family members and vassals who remained in Chang'an all become prisoners?
Will this Chang'an be burned again in the hands of thieves?
This is Chang'an, which Yuwentai rebuilt single-handedly.
Since Murong Chong burned Chang'an more than a hundred years ago, Chang'an has been completely defeated.
Murong Chong projected the grief of the loss of the country and his bitter hatred for Fu Jian onto Chang'an.
He wantonly burned Chang'an and burned the entire Guanzhong, causing the Guanzhong area to be uninhabited for thousands of miles and deserted for a hundred years.
It was Yuwentai who spent countless efforts to rejuvenate this once extremely brilliant Han capital in the barren Guanzhong.
He once told her that he loved Chang'an and the city he had restored. He wanted to make this splendid and glorious city the heart of a powerful empire and a fruitful place of bliss that everyone in the world yearned for, just like it did in the Western Han Dynasty.
He ordered people to rebuild the palace and government offices, reorganize the large and small streets, redivide the streets and squares, assign functions, and renovate and dredge several rivers that flow through Chang'an.
In the end, he ordered people to plant Xifu begonias on the most important official roads in Chang'an.
Begonia is a unique variety.
Begonias are generally bright and fragrant, but Xifu begonias are bright and fragrant.
The buds of the first bloom are red and enchanting, and the color gradually fades after flowering, and the distant view is like the dawn of the sky.
Every spring, Chang'an City is full of large blooming begonias, magnificent and spectacular.
When the wind blows, the white and red petals are sprinkled like rain, like a dream, and the whole capital seems to float on the clouds.
When she first arrived in Chang'an, Ran Ying saw such a brilliant, magnificent and gentle picture.
This whole city is soaked with Yuwentai's hard work and Yuwentai's temperament.
At this moment, Ran Ying only saw the begonia trees on the street that had been broken because the city had fallen into chaos, and the green branches and red fruits were scattered all over the ground, allowing people to trample on them.
Recalling that day in Huazhou, Yuwentai asked her dissatisfiedly: "Isn't the lonely Chang'an bad?" ”
She thought silently, Yuwentai, before you come back, I will guard Chang'an for you.
